GM's Thread About Everything/GM's Thread About Nothing (5 Viewers)

I've resided in CT and CA. CT chicks dig me for some weird reason, perhaps because I'm not completely pasty (sorry GM). Wish I'd been single when I lived there.

Yeah, the weather's rough. Connecticut summers kind of blow too.

This doesn't surprise me at all, GPJ. You're a really genuinely dry wit that will do well anywhere anyone has a sense of humor or intelligence.

It's funny. George Will once said that Connecticut was formed because the Puritans in the Massachusetts Bay Colony were backsliding. He meant that comment.

So my oldest son is about to turn 15 and is super into baseball. Like he has been playing pain-in-the-### select baseball for four years now. The team he was on disbanded after last season and he has been trying out for new teams.

Since he is almost 15, I let him decide what teams he wanted to try out for without me being involved at all. He has tried out for two teams in the last week, but those are the only ones he has on the schedule. A bunch of the other try-outs are over and he is going on a trip with his mom and her new husband on Wednesday.

So we found out yesterday that he didn't get an offer from the first team he tried out for. They only needed four players, so even though he felt he had a great try-out, he wasn't surprised or upset that he didn't get it.

That leaves the other one. It is a great program and they didn't have a 14U team last year, so they need 12-15 players. I know for a fact that two of his teammates from the last couple years just got offers to play for them. But those kids are both good pitchers in addition to being position players, while my son is strictly an outfielder.

I know it isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but I am getting super nervous and am feeling more and more like he isn't going to get this one and then we are going to have to scramble to find him a team. He doesn't act worried, but it could be a front or maybe he just is so confident that he hasn't even considered that he might not make it.

I was sure I was doing the right thing by leaving it up to him, but I am now feeling like maybe I should have been more involved, if only to point out that trying out for more than two teams might be a good idea. Anyway, like I said, not a huge deal, but I am afraid he is going to learn a tough lesson the hard way...

I was a die-hard baseball fan from the time I can remember up until 15ish, like eat, slept and dreamt (word?) it. Now we didn't have all the travel teams and such back then, but I was the last one cut from the freshman baseball team. I took it hard for about 6 hours and then turned my attention to girls and hanging out and stuff and I never missed it.

 
LaMarcus Aldridge just built a house in Dallas with a "massive" closet -- but it wasn't big enough for his shoes. So what's a guy with more than 150 pairs to do? "I'm in the process of building a separate house behind my house just for shoes, like a showroom,"

Reminds me of one of my favorite Mr Show quotes

Astronaut Bern Hembrook said it right, "I walked on the Moon. I did a pushup, ate an egg on it, what else can you do with it?"

Hot and pretty horrid

Temecula, and I think I'll really enjoy it. A bit north of San Diego.

Weather, solamente. When you live in Northern CT, weather is a huge boon. A desert is better than where I live currently. If you look at Hartford County on a map...well, don't. We got probably 100 inches of precipitation and snow last year. That starts to get rough on one's makeup.

Perhaps you shouldn't put your makeup on standing outside in a snowstorm.

 
guy next to me swinging a $20 and begging me to go to Taco Bell for a bag of AM Crunch Wraps. Sorry man, i'm just going to my truck to get some more chew.

ima gonna do the no carb thing for a couple weeks, bellys poking out a bit much.

 
One of my really good friends is currently interviewing for a position in my office.

As fun as my job is, having him here would make it like a thousand million times more fun.

We would do lots of meetings at bars around here and one of us would probably drunkenly fall off the roof and die at some point, but man, it would be a great run.

We have 2 openings and I know my boss has some creepy crush on one of the guys that applied.

Apparently she really wanted to hire him over me last time around, but the rest of the staff vetoed her.

This time she's the top dog in the office (former leader retired), so I fully expect her to get to pick that one #####.

Rooting hard for my buddy to get the other open spot. Thoprawishes appreciated

Makes me curious how the Burt Reynolds auction went, so I looked it up.

Biggest ticket item from that was this:

BURT REYNOLDS SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT 1977 PONTIAC TRANS AM COUPE - Y82 SPECIAL EDITION - $450,000.

But for a mere $192, you could have had this. :lmao:
